Introducing Therapy for Creativity

Explore your imaginative space while managing the realities of life.

Freedom to Create

Your talent and passion for creativity give you a unique outlet for dealing with big feelings, processing through tough times, and exploring the deepest depths of who you are. With Therapy for Creativity, you can heal your life without harming your art.

 

Perform

Explore new avenues of connection to you and your inner creative forces. This type of work with me is perfect for actors, writers, dancers, musicians, and performance artists of all sorts. The confidence you will gain in therapy will follow you and let your artistic expression blossom.

One of the modalities of my holistic approach is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)…a practice that will help you develop four sets of skills: Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. Writer’s block, performance anxiety, and ambivalence towards practicing are just a handful of the areas that will be addressed using DBT, as well as a number of other treatment styles specifically tailored to you.

Heal

Emotional trauma comes in all shapes and sizes. By engaging in the trauma recovery process, I will help you find relief from your emotional pain. Talk therapy alone can sometimes feel lacking. Utilizing an integrated, holistic approach, I will draw upon mind and body treatment methods such as Mindfulness, Brainspotting and EMDR. By working together, we can ultimately heal and bring you back into your emotionally healthy creative space.

Create

Mental health and creativity are intimately connected. Confidence while creating can freely flow once inner blocks and obstacles are addressed and dissolved. How many times have your loved ones been roadblocks by saying things like, “When are you going to get a real job” or “You’ve got to have something to fall back on” and “How are you going to pay your bills?” By engaging in Therapy for Creativity, these roadblocks will be considered from new perspectives and will positively impact your creative processes.
